2016–2017 Manac VAN Trailer recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Manac Inc. (Manac) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Van Trailers. The aluminum rivets that secure the external rub rails may fail, allowing the rub rails to detach.
💥 The risk
If the rub rail detaches, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Manac will notify owners and dealers will replace the aluminum rivets with stainless steel rivets, free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2017. Owners may contact Manac customer service at 1-418-228-2018.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
